Liberals tend to examine issues of sexism or racism in terms of the question of belief or what is “in one’s heart.” What is often overlooked in such conversations is that what we truly believe is sometimes much less important than what social constraints allow us to articulate or act upon. This issue is at the center of questions of social progress or regression.
Except since 2016, Repubs have really focused on how people feel or what they believe, versus the facts. This seems to be the same as the Dem tactic.
